Project Requirements

Project fast start up

In a hurry ? Juste type docker-compose up in the root directory. This will start 3 containers : MySQL, backend and frontend together. Liquibase will take care of the database setup. For development purpose, the DB is filled with 5 accounts (password: root) :

  • Thibaut
  • Mark
  • John
  • Luke
  • Steve
Warning : Be sure that no other app is running on port 3000, 9090 or 3306

Project development set up

  • This project use liquibase as a version control for database. When you will start backend, all tables and structures will be generated automatically.
  • You can disable Liquibase by setting spring.liquibase.enabled=false in application.properties.
  • To try the project on localhost, check that nothing runs on ports 9090 (Spring Boot) and 3000 (React app)
  • You can edit spring.datasource in backend/src/main/resources/application.properties and username and password in backend/src/main/resources/liquibase.properties with your own MySQL login / password
  • Create a database named "fastlitemessage_dev" or you can also modify the name in the properties files mentioned just above.

Start backend

  • Go inside backend folder then type mvn spring-boot:run to launch backend.
  • Or you can type mvn clean package to generate a JAR file and then start server with java -jar path/to/jar/file (Normally in inside backend/target/)

Start frontend

  • Go inside frontend-web folder and then type npm run start
